Two weeks MTB vacation

Been on vacation for two weeks, fleeing off Covid and the devastating floods

First week was MTB into the Alp Mountains

Second week we went from Alp Mountains to former East Germany where there is another mountain area. There is the highest mountain of East Germany, the "Brocken" where the Russians had a radio and Radar spy station.

First we did Europa longest zipline ride :shock:

Lucky us, these floods were in very west Germany, next to Belgium border. The second flood, that hit Bavaria came the week after we had left Image
